	=== Random Plane Crash Glitch ===		=== Random Plane Crash Glitch ===
	There is a common and sometimes irritating random factor of the game where airplanes crash to the ground or into buildings near CJ (with sometimes fatal or mission-failing consequences). Most crashes occur if the player is roaming around an area with many tall structures around him (buildings, trees, etc). The airplane may crash into one of these structures, making an audible explosion sound. However, there are also some instances where the player is on relatively flat ground and an airplane may just crash straight into the ground near him, or into the vehicle the player is in. Other crashes occur after CJ exits an interior after being inside for a few minutes and an aircraft spawns too low. This could be due to the unadvanced artificial intelligence that flying airplanes have in-game: when they spawn, they are programmed to fly in a straight line above the player, occasionally flying straight into a tall structure. Airplanes aren't necessarily programmed to change direction to avoid an oncoming object, they just rely on path files. Another explanation could be that the game developers implemented this on purpose, to emulate the random plane crashes that happen in real life. Random crashes occur all around the state, most notably around [[Downtown Los Santos in GTA III Era\|Downtown Los Santos]] and [[San Fierro]], or also in heavily-forested areas like [[Whetstone]]. There are also frequent crashes atop [[Mount Chiliad]].

			In [[Area 69]], [[Surface-to-Air Missile\|SAM]] sites are known to shoot down even NPC airplanes (except [[Police Maverick]]s and [[Hydra]]s), which will eventually crash down to the ground and may explode near the player.

	To do this, you must have the "large tires" cheat. Activate it, and then save any car. Next load the saved game again, activate the cheat again, and so on. The wheels should get abnormally large, affecting the handling of the vehicle. If the vehicle is too high you cannot get inside.		To do this, you must have the "large tires" cheat.

If the vehicle is too high you cannot get inside.

	~~===Ghost Tower===~~
	The Ghost Tower refers to an air traffic control tower that was originally intended to be located within Fort Baxter in GTA Vice City. If you are going towards the air base from any other mainland, you will notice an odd-colored building with a large antenna in the distance. However, after you enter the mainland, the tower disappears. This tower was going to serve a runway at the base, but both were cut before the game was released. The texture can still be seen before entering the mainland, as when the mainland is entered the map fully loads and the tower can't be viewed up close. After the mainland is entered, the tower disappears. The tower is just an LOD that was accidentally left in the game (Most structures that are way off in the distance are LOD's, but when you get close to them, their texture gets clearer). This glitch can also be seen in GTA Vice City Stories.

	This glitch can only be performed with an [[Infernus\|Infernus]] at [[Francis International Airport in GTA III Era\|Francis International Airport]]. At one end of the runway pointing towards the ocean, there is an elevated helipad near where a [[Dodo\|Dodo]] occasionally spawns. On the side of the helipad pointing towards the ocean, there are two staircases, one smaller than the other. Back up the Infernus onto the staircase, where it will get stuck. Then get out and the Infernus will make a reverse sound constantly increasing in pitch. If done correctly, it should eventually come unstuck and drive away at high speeds. Pressing the jump button in front of the car will show an animation of the player jumping out of the path of a moving vehicle, because the game thinks the Infernus is moving.

	One is method of reaching [[Shoreside Vale]] early on in the game is by exploiting a glitch that allows you to walk above the [[Porter Tunnel]]. To do this one must drive a [[Bobcat]] to the concrete sea wall above the tunnel entrance. The player has to reverse the car half off the wall above the middle of the tunnel. The player then exits the vehicle, falling into [[Blue Hell]], landing above the tunnel. They can then walk along the tunnel, then jump into Blue Hell at the Shoreside Vale end, so that they can get teleported above the surface.
